Each Power Hour session seeks to exam a different aspect of power in politics and public life. From the role of special advisers to opposition backbench MPs, to Government Ministers and think tank directors, we spend 60 minutes with key decision makers looking at their careers, the big issues they’ve grappled with and their thoughts on the future.
